Q Deck

Next I headed for the Q Deck, the world's tallest residential tower.



and took some pictures of Surfers Paradise from 755 feet up.



















Then I had continued my sightseeing walk around Surfers Paradise and stopped for dinner at the Surf Life Saving Club. It was then time to catch the bus back to Nerang station and the train back to Brisbane.

Adventure Croc

I headed into the Centro Mall and booked a seat on the Adventure Croc, walked the short distance to Trickett Street and saw the bus.
Unfortunately the bus was leaking oil and the tour had to be postponed until a mechanic had fixed the problem. I used the time to have a walk round the mall and get some souvenirs and something to eat.When I arrived back the bus was fixed and I was ready to board.
The adventure Croc bus is an amphibious vehicle. We drove down through Surfers and down to Main Beach and then into the river.









Then it was back onto dry land and back to Trickett Street.

Surfers Paradise

Tuesday 1 April. My sister and the kids decided they wanted to spend the day in Brisbane. I, however, wanted to visit the Gold Coast.

I walked down to South Brisbane Railway Station and caught a train to Nerang station and then a bus to Surfers Paradise.
As soon as I'd found my bearings I headed for the beach.
Definitely one of the best beaches in Australia with warm sand and blue seas this is one area not to be missed.








Next it was time for a ride on the Adventure Croc.
